Is the USMC Agreement All Good?

While I believe Pres. Trump has America's best interests at heart there's reason to believe he's either unaware of the long-term effects of the USMC agreement, or being mislead by his U.S. Trade representative, Robert Lighthizer and U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Why do I say this? Read the following paragraph from an article which was shared with me explaining it.
If the USMCA Agreement is ratified, Orwell’s predictions would come true. According to an article in Canada Free Press, the agreement brings in, through the back door, the Law of the Sea Treaty, indorsed by both Clinton and Bush, which was not ratified by the United States. President Reagan rejected it because it demanded technology and wealth transfer from developed nations to the undeveloped ones. As compelling the reasons were to reject it, there were far worse reasons to do so. President Reagan didn’t like the idea of establishing an international bureaucracy that would supersede U.S. rights of sovereignty. He knew that other nations would use the Law of the Sea Treaty to work against U.S. interests in ways not imagined in the benign scenarios painted by its supporters.
I strongly urge any readers of my blog to use the link I've provided above and read the whole article. For many, such analysis borders on "tin-foil hat" type conjecture, or conspiracy theory style stuff. I suspect that many who read such information either choose to ignore what the information spells out for their future, or view it much like many citizens view having any impact on their elected representatives. 

I understand why some might choose to avoid such issues, or choose to ignore it, however, I can testify from first hand experience that it is not. Those who see it for what it is will recognize the various factors which have clearly been in play already for decades; climate change, social justice, and economic equity, to name only a few.

For the past seven and a half years I've sat on my county's planning commissioner board. Our job has been to receive presentations from the various county level directors for the assorted infrastructure - transportation, waste management, a myriad of codes and changes to them for business and residential dwellings, etc. - ask questions, and send an advisory vote to our county council members to ultimately discuss and vote on.

If there's one major law which has been in place since the late 1990s, it is the Growth Management Act which dictates everything all counties in the state are restricted by. While some counties may decide to not follow the requirements within it, there are funding consequences which come into play.

Currently, a proposal by the county's long-range planning has had the planning commission working through a massive series of meetings and content regarding what is obviously part of the Agenda 21 plan at the local level. It is called "Centers & Corridors" which is a huge change of codes in order to allow for two main highway corridors within the mid-county to high density business and residential development thirty years out which will essentially choke the already overused state highways in these areas and create public safety issues without conducting any capital feasibility studies for understanding just how they will impact those corridors.

Should any of the readers understand just how critical this issue is for their children's future, I urge them to go to the American Policy Center and download the PDF offered for more detailed understanding and what we can do individually to work against further implementation of this global plan for tyranny.
